Jiri,

You missed an identical instance of the useless test 10 lines prior in
ivtvfb_callback_init(). :)

How about the patch below, instead?

Regards,
Andy

[PATCH] VIDEO: ivtvfb, fix NULL check

Jiri Slaby reported that stanse found ivtvfb_callback_cleanup has an
unneeded test for itv being NULL. itv was initialized as container_of
with non-zero offset, so it was never NULL (even if v4l2_dev was).

This fix now checks for v4l2_dev being NULL, and not itv.

Thanks to Jiri Slaby for reporting this problem and providing an initial
patch.
